President Trump on Thursday condemned Wednesday’s "heinous attack" on the Capitol by his supporters and called for healing.
"Like all Americans, I am outraged by the violence, lawlessness and mayhem," Trump said, adding that he had "immediately" deployed the National Guard.
He tweeted out the video shortly after his account was unlocked by Twitter. Twitter, along with Facebook, suspended the president for his initial response to the riot.
